24. They live in a bible-based reality

The planet is infinite in every direction, and God wants us to do whatever we like to it. The United states is, of course, the veritable kingdom of heaven - or at least the closest you'll find on earth - and so has the special favor of god, a mandate to own the world. As a nation with the literal mandate of heaven, we are of course immune to any harm befalling us that doesn't come from Satan (liberals, muslims, gays, etc).
